Careful on the golf course, stay to the edges. Fantastic views over Gloucester and stroud. If you want an express route down take Stockley and enjoy rocketing into Upton st. Leonards.

Fascinating archaeology, geology and nature combine at Haresfield Beacon. This spectacular viewpoint, which was once a strategically positioned hillfort on the Cotswold limestone escarpment, affords views across the England/Wales border and into the Brecon Beacons. All around is a mixed landscape of woodland and chalk grassland, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Bit of a climb but worth it

Location for a picnic

Always great views no matter what the weather

Marvellous views over the Severn Vale and further into Wales. Sugarloaf is easily visible on a clear day.

Nice views

View over the Severn from Painswick Beacon - you can see May Hill and even further.

Some wonderful views in all directions... The Cotswolds' Crib Goch... though not as scary! 😀

Downham Hill, known locally as "Smallpox Hill is an outlying hill from the surrounding Cotswold escarpment, separated by a small valley. It offers perhaps some of the best view in the valley if not the Cotswolds! Due to the physical nature of the hill it lent itself to being a Smallpox isolation hospital during the 18th and 19th century, making it one of the earliest isolation hospitals in the country. It is believed that the hospital played a roll in Edward Jenner’s studies of the disease, and aided his eventual discovery of the Smallpox vaccine.

Great views and hence, usually lots of people and dogs to avoid. The climb up from Cheltenham Road is short and punchy.

This is worth a trip on any bike, worth exploring from every direction, and certainly worth visiting cranham woods for even more good downhill, singletrack and fireroads. Just be mindful of cows and considerate to Golfers and Walkers who also share the beacon and it's surrounding land (also the royal william Pub nearby is nice!)

Loads of trails and roads to follow up to the beacon. Great views across to the river Severn - the area is shared with Painswick Golf course and often busy with Golfers, walkers and cyclists

Nice climb... 😅. Suggest to include cam peak .. which you can miss out on on Cotswolds Way

Once you have enjoyed some of the great singletrack and doubletrack trails, climb to the top of the Beacon and take in the views

You are afforded spectacular views from Coaley Peak, which stretch right across the Severn Vale towards the Forest of Dean and beyond. Below the summit lies unimproved limestone grassland, owned and maintained by the National Trust.

You are afforded a glorious views from Haresfield Beacon; stretching over the Severn Estuary, the City of Gloucester and the Forest of Dean. Standish Wood, which you pass through en route, is a site of special scientific interest due to its Jurassic rocks and is a magical place to explore.

It is a lovely walk up to Painswick Beacon and the views are very impressive. You are afforded a full panorama from the summit and the views over to the Severn estuary are exceptional. The route to the top does pass through a golf course, though, so watch out for stray balls.

Amazing views on a clear day and a handy trig point that points out what you can see!
